Politician is "Outed" by Opponent... in Reverse

A candidate for the Pennsylvania state legislature stands accused… of being straight?

This one is too weird for words. I mean, ASSUMING the guy is just pretending to be gay or bi… wouldn’t it be easier just to run in a different district?

You think that’s weird? How about being kicked off of a softball team for not being gay enough?

Moving thread from IMHO to MPSIMS.

That’s sooooo hetero!

tdn, go back in the closet! You’re not fooling anyone!

Well, this is the Straight Dope.

I’ve been using this phrase around the house for a few weeks. At first I thought I was going to be able to start a movement to replace the “that’s so gay” thing - but so far all I’ve been able to do is annoy my wife (which is incentive enough to continue).

This reminds me of a case I read of in the German papers - if I rightly recollect, in the early 1980s.

A left-wing Berlin paper alluded that it were an open secret that a certain prominent Christian Democrat city councillor was heterosexual.
The politician had his lawyer issue a strongly worded denial and threaten a lawsuit.

It turned out that the politician and his lawyer did not know what that word means.

It’s not a closet!

It’s just a very tiny apartment.
